ATLANTA - The Phillies' wrong-way ride in the National League East standings continued Thursday night with a 12-6 loss to the Atlanta Braves that was troubling in so many ways.
Start with the big picture:
In a span of five weeks, the Phillies have gone from leading the National League East by 3½ games over the Braves and 10 games over the Washington Nationals to third place.
That's right, third-freaking-place and 6½ games out of first.
